Dean Rivers Case Nine to Stay Alive
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
After an early position limp, Jeremy Schultz raised to 9,000 from the cutoff, Chan Pelton called from the small blind and Tom Dean squeezed for 43,000 from the big blind.
The early limper mucked their hand as did Schultz while Pelton called and the two players tabled their hands.
Tom Dean:
Chan Pelton:
Dean was ahead with his made hand of nines until the flop appeared giving Pelton top two-pair.
The turn wasn't the worst card for Dean as it gave him more outs with the club flush draw.
Luckily for Dean, it was the that kept his tournament alive on the river and Schultz let him know that it was also the case nine.
